Popular Post Roo Island Posted August 26 Popular Post Share Posted August 26 Until now, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster has held his fire about his stint in the Trump White House. McMaster served with distinction in key American conflicts of the past decades: the Gulf War, the Iraq War and the war in Afghanistan, but as McMaster recounts in his new book, "At War with Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House," in some ways, his most challenging tour as a soldier was his last one: serving as the national security adviser to a notoriously mercurial president. In his blistering, insightful account of his time in the Trump White House, McMaster describes meetings in the Oval Office as "exercises in competitive sycophancy" during which Trump's advisers would flatter the president by saying stuff like, "Your instincts are always right" or, "No one has ever been treated so badly by the press." Meanwhile, Trump would say "outlandish" things like, "Why don't we just bomb the drugs?" in Mexico or, "Why don't we take out the whole North Korean Army during one of their parades?" https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/25/politics/mcmaster-trump-book-account 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Danderman123 Posted August 27 Popular Post Share Posted August 27 Lots of the Trumpers here would love to have worked in the White House so they could tell Trump how smart he was, every day. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Berkshire Posted August 27 Popular Post Share Posted August 27 It's well documented from several first-hand accounts that Trump is susceptible to flattery. All of our adversaries in Russia, China, N. Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc.....they all know this. They know that all they have to do is publically compliment Trump and he'll give them whatever they want. How stupid is that? Another reason why Trump should never become POTUS. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One assumes Trump will get that added as a trial event in the 2028 Olympics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hummin Posted August 27 Popular Post Share Posted August 27 (edited) Nothing will bite on the Maga cult, even after many of Trumps earlier key workers have told their story about working for him in the White House. Other key players who tells their experience about Trump in the white house is John Bolton, Rex Tillerson, Steve Bannon, Cassidy Hutchinson, James Mattis and John Kelly Edited August 27 by Hummin 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other key players who tells their experience about with Trump in the white house is John Bolton, Rex Tillerson, Steve Bannon, Cassidy Hutchinson, James Mattis and John Kelly Trump and his supporters just call them losers or RINOs. Childish terms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Danderman123 Posted September 1 Popular Post Share Posted September 1 Trump appointees are "the best" going in, but when they realize what an idiot Trump is, and they leave, then they are RINOs or worse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
